Regional distribution of technology-intensive manufacturing industries in the czech republic with an accent on risk of delocalisation (original) (raw)

Revue Interventions économiques, 59 | 2018

2018

L'Amérique latine a connu une transformation importante ces dernières années. En dépit de la crise économique et sociale majeure qui a eu lieu à la fin du XXe siècle, entre 2003 et 2008, la région connaît une période expansionniste remarquable depuis les années 1970. L'une des nouvelles caractéristiques enregistrées au cours de la période était l'augmentation du secteur manufacturier où la politique industrielle combinait les instruments traditionnels pour promouvoir l'investissement avec d'autres outils visant à favoriser l'innovation et la modernisation technologique. Dans le même temps, en utilisant toujours des instruments et des programmes horizontaux, dans de nombreux pays, l'accent a été mis sur la mise en œuvre de politiques ciblées et sélectives et pour articuler les différents instruments dans un cadre plus général de planification du développement productif. L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser l'évolution des politiques industr...

Firm behaviour and public infrastructure - The Case of Hungary

2005

In the paper, we test the effect of local development, regional and local policies on the location decisions and productivity of firms. Development indicators include local research and development activity or education while policy decisions used in this study encompass for example tax rates, investment incentives or road construction. The study builds upon a large national panel of firms. Importantly, such a rich dataset has rarely been employed for productivity and location choice exercises. The paper is composed of two sections dealing with location choice and productivity, respectively and we compare the effect of variables used in both sections. Among others, we find that density of road network positively influenced location choice and productivity as well, while a somewhat larger size of administration helps new firms to settle but later on, it has no effect on productivity.

Development of high technologies as an indicator of modern industry in the UE / Wiesława Gierańczyk

2010

The article tries to classify the EU states in terms of the advancement of structural changes in their industries on the basis of the increase in the share of advanced technologies in total industrial production, labour, added value, and surplus. In the times of the knowledge-based economy the ability to produce high-tech goods, the demand for which is growing much faster than for traditional goods, indicates the level of modernity of industry. The dynamic growth of the demand for knowledge-based high-tech goods results from the evolution of consumer habits, which are predominantly driven by educated and rich societies who demand that their sophisticated needs met. An important role in stimulating this demand is played by modern media as they instantly deliver information on the latest technical developments and are very efficient in transferring patterns of consumerism. The ability to adapt the structure of production to the needs of the market is crucial in defining a state's position in the international exchange of goods. This is due to the fact that the national technology is tightly interwoven with export abilities.
